Fans of the co-op FPS game Killing Floor 3 were met with disappointment as Tripwire Interactive announced a last-minute delay for the highly anticipated title. Originally scheduled for release at the end of this month, the game has now been pushed back due to negative feedback from the closed beta.
Why Was Killing Floor 3 Delayed?
In an official statement posted on Twitter (X), Tripwire Interactive acknowledged that the closed beta did not meet expectations, leading to player criticism. The studio stated:
“After carefully reviewing player feedback from the recent closed beta, we realized that we haven’t fully achieved our goal. Our vision for Killing Floor 3 is to deliver both an ambitious evolution of the franchise and a refined experience that stays true to what fans love.”
With support from its parent company, Embracer Group, the development team decided to postpone the launch to allow for further polishing and improvements.
What Improvements Are Coming?
According to Tripwire Interactive, the team is working on multiple enhancements, including:
Improved UI & UX
Better lighting and visual effects
Performance and stability optimizations
Enhanced weapon handling and feedback
Additionally, the studio confirmed that a post-launch update will introduce a skill and character selection system, addressing one of the most requested features from beta testers.
When Will Killing Floor 3 Be Released?
As of now, Tripwire Interactive has not provided a specific new release date, but the game is still expected to launch later this year. Killing Floor 3 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC upon release.
Killing Floor 3’s Future: A More Polished Experience
